The issue just seems to be that the process is dying before Visual Studio can properly attach. Ivan, try using " System::Diagnostics::Debug.assert false" which will pop up a dialog box, thus blocking the thread, but without using the "int 3" x86 instruction as System::Diagnostics::Debugger.break would. The latter might cause some issues.
Also, could there be any issue with the fact that ASP.Net is running a service? Some dialog boxes might be getting hidden since services run in their own hidden workspace/workstation (I think) -----Original Message----- From: ironruby-core-boun...@rubyforge.org [mailto:ironruby-core-boun...@rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of Cory Foy Sent: Sunday, March 14, 2010 11:25 PM To: ironruby-core@rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] IronRuby.Rack how to debug?

You may also want to try WinDBG with the SOS extension. Here's slides with code and examples on using WinDBG to debug .NET applications: http://www.slideshare.net/CoryFoy/debugging-net-applications-with-windbg What I'd try is using the File menu to attach to the process, then when it breaks typing in ".loadby sos mscorwks". Next type in "sxe clr" and then "g". It will now break on all CLR exceptions. You can type "!printexception" to see the exception details when it breaks, and "g" to make it go again. You can also type "!help" to see all of the SOS commands. -- Cory Foy http://www.coryfoy.com http://twitter.com/cory_foy _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core
